People look at a capsized ship in Corn Island, Nicaragua November 6, 2009. Hurricane Ida weakened to a tropical storm after churning through eastern Nicaragua on Thursday, cutting power and ripping roofs on little-developed Caribbean islands. Ida should break into the northwest Caribbean on Saturday and reach the Gulf of Mexico early Monday, according to U.S. National Hurricane Center forecasts. Once over open water, the NHC expects Ida to regain tropical storm strength. REUTERS/Stringer (NICARAGUA ENVIRONMENT DISASTER)
